I get it. Yes, it is hard for a giant to shoot as well as a Stephen Curry. But there are a myriad ways to skin a cat and other ways to shoot a free throw. Just ask Rick Barry. Sorry if you don't get the reference. Not practising - not improving - reflects the fact overpaying sportspeople simply leads to laziness.
It also begs the question, is the player a winner? But why? For those who may not know what goal-tending is, it is a rule that was formed long ago, keeping the big-man in mind. Once the ball has either passed that point, or bounced off the backboard and going in, if a player tries to block the shot, a goal-tend is called.
And in this case, the offensive team is awarded the points the shot would have been worth. On the other end, if an offensive player tries to touch the ball while it is still on the rim, an offensive goal-tend is called, and the other team gets the ball. Watch the clip in the tweet below. However, because it was touched after the apex and before it had the chance to touch the rim, under normal circumstances, an offensive goal-tend could have been called.
Trap the ball against the face of the backboard. To be a trapped ball, three elements must exist simultaneously. The hand, the ball and the backboard must all occur at the same time. A batted ball against the backboard is not a trapped ball. Touch any live ball from within the playing area that is on its downward flight with an opportunity to touch the basket ring.

Touch any ball from within the playing area that is on its downward flight with an opportunity to score. Touch the ball at any time with a hand which is through the basket ring.
